This was the best christmas in a long time!!!

This christmas was so nice. Seeing all the cousins together and planning was one of the best parts about this christmas. The other best part was seeing the look on my papa and grandma's face seen us and then me telling them that we arent going back to arizona that we live here now, it was priceless....I love being back home and knowing that we wont miss anymore things puts a smile on my face everyday.

We made it!!!

Well it was a long and tiring trip but we made it finally. The kids and dogs where GREAT and good troopers. On our way we stopped at a few places and the kids enjoyed that. Nathan did good with his ear infection. Izabella and I played truck coloring game and who can find the most water towers. She didnt start trying to get out of her carseat and becoming crabby until like the last 6 to 10 hours of the trip. We are glad that the trip is done and over with.

Just what we need before heading out!

Last night Cheryk and James took the kids for the night so that we could pack up the truck and get ready to head out. Well I got a phone call from cheryk saying that nathan was complaining that his ear hurt and that she was giving him motrin for pain, but he isnt crabby and doesnt want to come home. I told cheryk its up to her and that I trust her judgement, so she said they want to keep the kids as planned. This morning I got a phone call from cheryk saying nathan's ear is now draining fluid but he is doing good. When they brought my babies home I took nathan up to urgent care because I wanted him to get checked out before heading out in the morning. The doctor had said that he had an ear infection and the worse is over now because the pressure had popped, just to give him antibodiacs and if needed motrin.

We are coming home

Well we are moving back home and I am so excited, I just hope that we are making the right decision and we arent doing this because I really want to be back home. But I keep looking at all the signs and I truely believe that god is having us go back home. This was a fun and great experience for us as individuals but also as a family and I would never wish to turn the clocks back and do things over again. Moving out to arizona was the best thing on us, we mate some wonderful people that became our family, are marriage grew stronger and our family grew stronger as a whole. If plans go right we will be leaving for michigan on the 13th of december and hopefully get there in time for christmas.

Nathan lost his Job

Today nathan was told as of November 19th he will no longer have a job with pulte homes, and there is no chance that there will be a call back this time around, and you know I have a good feeling about this layoff, the other two I was sooo upset(even though it worked out) but this time I am at ease. Maybe its because he also got a phone call from a friend in Michigan saying that his company is hiring and they want to interview nathan. We shall see.

Nathan's 1st day of Kindergarden

Today was nathan's first day of Kindergarden and man let me tell you he was tired beforehand and afterwards. He doesnt like his teacher, but that is not her fault its mine and Am's. Because we werent here to meet the teacher, I didnt know that he was to bring a water bottle to drink throughout the day and also to bring a snack. My friend amber forgot to tell me that info, so he wasnt happy today and didnt like his teacher but understands now and will hopefully like her tomorrow. I did okay a little teary eye, but okay.
I kept myself busy with going out to breakfest with Am and then going supply shopping for Nathan and I for school, then to my school to pick up my books, then come home and dusted and vaccummed the house.

Back home to Arizona

Today we flew home and because I was in michigan for so long it felt like I was leaving my family all over again for the first time. It was hard and it made it especially harder because Xavier kept asking over and over why cant we just live here so that I can see my aunts, uncles, cousins, and grandparents all the time. He kept saying how he hates arizona because he doesnt see anyone and he wants daddy to be able to find a job in michigan so we can move back home. So I finally told him that he needs to pray to God and if God thinks its our time to go back home to michigan then something will come along but until its time we have to just pray and let god handle it.
This flight was much better than the flight going to Michigan, everything went smoothly and no problems.
